The one who is starting to naturally establish himself as the leader of the future generation of the Blues came to comment hotly on thewon 2-0 once morest Morocco in the semi-finals.
You are going to play in a World Cup final. How do you feel?
Aurelien Tchouameni: We are happy. It’s a party in the locker room but I don’t think we fully realize it because the match has just ended. In a few hours we’ll realize what we are doing
She made you suffer this Moroccan team?
AT : It’s a great team. Suffer I don’t know… We had a game plan, we knew they were going to want to take control of the ball. We managed to be compact. We didn’t concede that many chances. On our strength, the counter-attacks, we managed to punish them twice. The victory is deserved.
We found you less offensive than last time, was that intended?
He laughs before reframing the journalist
AT : I do not agree. Surely the last time I scored [contre l’Angleterre, nldr] but that was on my only climb. There, I had many more opportunities to project myself.
Today I was with Youssouf [Fofana]. We both have automatisms and we had a good match. We are happy. It is enough that we exchange a glance on the ground, we know what to do.
You are going to face Messi and Argentina in the final, how does that feel to you?
AT : Messi or no Messi. It’s just a World Cup final. Whether it’s Messi or someone else, we just want to win
